  • Patent number: 8110726
    Abstract: Novel plant polysaccharide synthesis genes and polypeptides encoded by such genes are provided. These genes and polynucleotide sequences are useful regulating polysaccharide synthesis and plant phenotype. Moreover, these genes are useful for expression profiling of plant polysaccharide synthesis genes. One aspect of the present invention therefore are polynucleotides encoding cellulose synthase from Pinus radiata and methods of using such a polynucleotide to regulate polysaccharides of a plant.

  • Patent number: 7671188
    Abstract: The present invention concerns isolated polynucleotides that encode a polypeptide with cellulose synthase activity and methods of producing a plant that expresses the cellulose synthase-encoding polynucleotides and thereby has a different phenotype compared to a non-transformed plant of the same species.
